Our local paper reports juvenile traffic issues. Not sure if they are messing up or if it is because traffic goes to magistrate and not juvenile court.
Iowa City Pedestrian hit by car
- Thread starter CaposCy
- Start date
Minors brutally killed a teacher in Fairfield and their names were released....
The paper in our area does not give names of juveniles on traffic reports so it might depend on the area.
Actually it’s not being plastered anywhere BECAUSE of who his Dad is.
I feel like it shouldn’t be treated any different depending on who the driver is.
Just looking at what is publicly available on Iowa Courts online, I didn’t see anything I could identify as charges in this case but you could see a speeding ticket many years ago for one of his brothers when he was 17. That would imply that a traffic charge would be public info. I suppose they could be considering criminal charges but that doesn’t seem likely with what little we know from the negligible reporting.
That was a special case and I believe they were tried as adults because it was incredibly heinous.
I don't think the law is that arbitrary based on a recent case in eastern Iowa where juveniles were involved in a murder. Based on new reports, sounds like juveniles are automatically tried as adults if they are charged in a murder. The juvenile's lawyers can then petition the court to have their case switched to juvenile court.
In this traffic death, could the law only require the driver's name to be released when charged are filed. So it might not matter if driver is adult or juvenile.
Their names were released before they were tried as adults BUT Iowa law allows the release of a minors name in felony cases or something like that.
#NotALaywer - if there was cell phone use involved, a driver could face a felony conviction with up to 10 years in prison. I suspect that they are waiting on information from the cell carrier (and toxicology reports) before determining what, if any, charges to file.
I posted on the Fran thread about this but the guy did pass.

Are you sure that your combined ages don't precede the invention of the horseless carriage?
Heartbreaking for his family right before retirement, and I am sure it is tragic for whomever the driver is as well.I posted on the Fran thread about this but the guy did pass.

Why, you young whippersnapper!!! You are a varlet!!! Let me adjust my goggles before I give you a sound thrashing. In the meantime, here is Young Dean in his 1893 Deanmobile in St. Looey.
He just needs to talk with former governor Terry Branstad.
And there you have it folks, another CF thread successfully makes yet another daring and unbelievable leap to the cave!
If that happened in Ames, Birch and Randy would be all over it. Eickholt, Franisdaman, WHO-TV sports crew, Neck Beard, Iowa Loud, Dochterman, and that drunk Iowa lawyer on "Go Iowa Awesome" are quiet as a mouse on this, thus they lose their press creditials and will miss their chin slapping Iowa coaches ball sacks if they say anything.

Any chance the Iowa band stays away from Ames? We are probably due for months of revisiting the many capital offenses that occurred at JTS that somehow eluded all security cameras. But not much even reporting this poor man’s death.
